§ 2108 — Title XII Interest Fund

The Title XII Interest Fund shall be held separate and apart from all public moneys or funds of this State. Payments attributable to the surcharge established pursuant to Section 1506.5 in an amount not to exceed $90,000,000 shall be deposited into the Title XII Interest Fund, together with any moneys that may otherwise be directed for deposit into that Fund. No such moneys shall be paid or expended except upon the direction of the Director who, as ex officio custodian of the Title XII Interest Fund, shall expend such moneys only for the payment of interest required to be paid on advances under Title XII of the Social Security Act or for transfer to this State's account in the unemployment trust fund. Any funds remaining in the Title XII Interest Fund after payment of the interest due as of September 30, 2011, on advances under Title XII of the Social Security Act shall be transferred to this State's account in the unemployment trust fund no later than October 31, 2011. Moneys in the Title XII Interest Fund shall not be commingled with other State funds, but they shall be deposited as required by law and maintained in a separate account on the books of a savings and loan association, bank, or other qualified financial institution. All interest earnings on amounts within the Title XII Interest Fund shall accrue to the Title XII Interest Fund. The Director shall be liable on her or his general official bond for the faithful performance of her or his duties in connection with the moneys in the Title XII Interest Fund. Such liability on her or his official bond shall exist in addition to the liability upon any separate bond given by her or him. All sums recovered for losses sustained by the Title XII Interest Fund shall be deposited into the Fund.
